Can you give a more clear example of what you are wanting to do? You
say external are you trying to print attributes from other modules? If
so you need to import those modules and prefix the attributes with
that modules name.
# This works
a = 1
b = 2
scpt = 'print a, b'
exec( scpt, globals() )
# This works
a = 3
b = 4
def foo():
scpt = 'print a, b'
exec( scpt, globals() )
foo()
# This works
sys.path.append('C:/Documents and Settings/rtrowbridge/My Documents/
maya/2008/scripts')
"""
# script file looks like this
a = 5
b = 6
"""
scpt = 'import scriptfile; print scriptfile.a, scriptfile.b'
exec( scpt, globals() )
Hope that helps,
